A wide outdoor photo of a large group of people standing in a dusty, sparsely grassed open ground with palm trees, a white water tower and a fence behind them. Most are dressed in white, with some in orange, red, purple and blue clothing. They form a loose circle and raise their arms overhead with hands clasped, as in a group exercise or yoga practice. Several children stand at the left edge in red and green clothes. At the centre, a figure in white stands among the group; no clear identification of a particular individual is possible from appearance alone.
